00:25 - KarlabosMost videos are all about just adding random images to the song though, so...

00:22 - KarlabosSome videos aren't bad. But an ok video is not a good video. A good video would be something that adds to the song. In a way after you've seen it you can't help but to feel only listening to the song isn't enough anymore

23:53 - ApothecaryI mean welcome to artists trying to be theatrical lol there's always going to be some degree of cheese in music videos, even if it's .0001% cheese

01. When The Sun Drank The Weight Of Water02. The Sixteenth Six-Tooth Son Of Fourteen Four-Regional Dimensions (Still Unnamed)03. Inherited Bowel Levitation - Reduced Without Any Effort04. The Echo (Replacement)05. The Putrefying Road In The Nineteenth Extremity (...Somewhere Inside The Bowels Of Endlessness...)06. (Within) The Chamber Of Whispering Eyes07. And You'll Remain... (In Pieces In Nothingness)08. Erecshyrinol09. The Planet That Once Used To Absorb Flesh In Order To Achieve Divinity And Immortality (Suffocated To The Flesh That It Desired...)10. The Cry11. Raped Embalmed Beauty Sleep

Additional infoA mention in the booklet reads:
"Absolutely no effects were used on the vocals in any way"

Nespithe means "The Spine", and Erecshyrinol means "No Lyrics Here." They can be decrypted by grouping the letters in three, starting at the end of the word, and reversing the order of those groups.

Reissued by Repulse Records (RPS 014) with "The Four Instructive Tales Of Decomposition" demo as bonus tracks. Unlike the rumor that was going around, Repulse had the band's permission. Demilich only decided to let people download this album because they've never received any payment from the Necropolis reissue. This album was also reissued by Pavement Records. It was reissued again in 2002 by Century Media Records as a digipak with "The Four Instructive Tales Of Decomposition" demo as bonus tracks.

Also released on tape by Sick Records (Poland). This release was licensed by Repulse.

Also released on 12" vinyl and CD by Spanish label Xtreem Music in 2009. It contains no insert and has typos on the back side of the cover. This version was mastered by label owner Dave Rotten at Xtreem Music Masterings in January 2009 (It has the same bonus tracks as the Repulse edition).

It seems so simple. All you have to do in order to acquire a legendary status in the underground Death metal world is this - be unique. It is, apparently, one of the most difficult things of all for many a band these days.

Back to '93. Death metal was still young so it was easier to stand out, I'll give you that, but there were still a couple of bands that did something in those days that nobody was ever able to copy. Not then, not now. One of those bands is the bizarre Demilich. 1993 sees the release of their sole full-length Nesphite (or "The Spine") and to this day it remains an incredible and breath-taking album.

Btw, this sounds more like an archetypal avant death rather than prog death to me,

I don't think this sounds like regular death metal, seeing as Demilich-ian death metal is practically is own sub-genre because of those atypical, angular riffs (Chthe'ilist, Cosmic Atrophy, Adramalech etc.) For this to be made in in 1993 is pretty avant-garde to me.

But yeah, when did this suddenly get the prog death tag?

Well, yea, its not as copied as much as Stockholm Death or Florida Death and it has its own distinct sound to it. I'm just saying that it sounds like regular death in that it doesn't seem either progressive or avant-garde.

Though, if you say that 'for 1993, its avant-garde' then A Blaze In The Northern Sky is avant-garde as well...for 1992.

Well I don't see why Gorguts get the avant-garde tag 5 years after this was made with Obscura. That just seems like a more abrasive version of this to me. Atonality within death metal is pretty avant-garde, and still is, and I can't think of any bands that did it before Demilich.

Bah, I think my memory was failing me. I'm getting too old. Just put this on again and I'm all like "God, I'm a moron".
